    That is utterly F*@&ing maniacal MR4E, I've seen shot gun shells use as adjuster knobs and cut off cartridge ends used as fret markers before. But Full on bullets? all the way through the body? that's a trip!

    Great work, do the shell ends catch while you play?

    I was thinking the same thing. Or are you treating this more as a piece of art.

    Looks fantastic, if a little uncomfy. Great job!

    I assume you gave it the Shou Sugi Ban treatment before insertion of bullets. Otherwise it might be a Shou Sugi Bang!

    Yes, burnt it, then oiled it, then glossed and sanded and glossed it again.
